Revit vs. Data

Do you ever have days when everything you do ends in failure? Or everything you try to do brings up new problems and you literally don't cross off one single thing from your list? Yeah....

I had an argument the other day. With someone something I normally get along with. It was traumatic, but it happens sometimes.

I know you won't believe this, but I'm going to rant about.....Revit.* (gasp!)

I was struggling with a multitude of problems - a site model that mysteriously moved, a topography that was modelling like stalactites, a mechanical model that refused change to black and white and finally - what put me over the edge - stairs.

I realized halfway through my struggle that what I was experiencing must be similar to reasoning with Data from Star Trek. You know how he tilts his head to the side when he's confused? 

Revit does this too.  

Below I relate a snippet of my 'argument' with Data Revit:



Jabba: Okay, can you not show the railing above the cut line?

Revit: (head tilt) But there is a railing there.

Jabba: It's so cluttered, please turn it off above the cut line.

Revit: (head tilt) But there is a railing there.

Jabba: I know there is a railing there but just don't show it.

Revit: (head tilt) But there is a railing there.



You get the picture. 

My day ended with this post to Instagram.
